Did anyone but me snort through their nose when they saw that "Scarborough Country" graphic and the headline, "Fake News vs. Fox News"? I mean, what's the difference? Apples, meet apples.
You know, I have disagreed with Barbara Boxer from time to time, especially in her endorsement of RG Joe back in the summer. But after this bit of hard push-back with snotty Fox anchor Jane Skinner yesterday, I've got to show Senator Boxer some love. Say what you will about her, the Lady clearly knows how to throw a punch.
Let's go to the transcript, shall we?
Boxer: ...and I think our policy is not helping matters at all.
Skinner: Well, as you know, the President said this morning that the offense is not going to make us less safe. Just a bit of disagreement with you. We appreciate your perspective.
Boxer: I hear that you agree with the President and I'm not surprised.
Skinner: We're just trying to bring both sides, Senator Barbara Boxer from California.
Boxer: Oh, you're "fair and balanced", thank you very much.
Skinner: Thank you very much indeed we are. We want to know what you think because we ARE fair and balance blah de blah diddy blah...
The best part of the whole thing (aside from watching Jane Skinner recoil like Boxer just slapped her across the face, "How DARE a US Senator backtalk ME, a FOX NEWS ANCHOR?!") was the big bright smile Boxer flashed as she signed off, which clearly said, "Oh, and you can kiss my ass in Macy's window, ya little chippie!! And have a niiiiiiiiiice day."
Hell, yeah.
It's time to hit back hard like that, y'all. Big Dog sounded the klaxon last weekend when he lowered the boom on that little assmonkey who tried to sandbag him. Fox News is just the RNC's propaganda wing. It's time we called them on it.
So tell everybody you know. Push this meme, my little Blogistas! EVERYBODY needs to make like Bill and Barbara. Any time any progressive goes on Fox News, writes emails or letters to Fox News, or even discusses Fox News with coworkers or friends, you must establish a priori that it is a fraudulent organization. Pox News, Fake and Biased! I urge you to make liberal use of air quotes. "Fair and balanced"! Let's do it together now. Fingers up! "Fair and balanced", right? One more time, curl your lip in disgust just a liiiiiittle more..."Fair and balanced". Yeeeeeah. Feel the burn.
Think about it. Pox News is the front line in the War on Truth. They've been spinning a continuous line of specious Reich Wing bullshit since, oh, 1996. (Hey, wasn't that the year that the rightards dove straight to the bottom of President Clinton's underwear drawer and set up their whole Ken Starr trailer-park? Which, if "Path to 9/11" is to be believed, left the Clinton administration so distracted they couldn't fight terrah?)
We have Faux News to thank for the ascendency of Bill O'Reilly, Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity, Michelle Malkin, and all (and I mean ALL) the rest of the Usual Suspects. It is without precedent (except maybe in North Korea) that an entire national media empire was founded on pushing the agenda of an elite fringe of wealthy right wing extremists.
Our national dialogue has been hijacked and flown into a building. Public perception has been warped to the right by an unremitting flood of 24-hour non-stop lies. Fox was instrumental in the run up to the War in Iraq, incestuously amplifying the Bush White House's message all day every day seven days a week, 365 days a year. For that alone, they should all be jailhouse bitches like Judy Miller. Humiliated. Discredited. Shills.
I saw Halloween decorations at Kroger the other night and realized that it's almost time to start thinking about the War on Christmas™ season. Already?! I know! It just seems to come earlier every year. Before you know it, we'll be having the After War on Christmas™ sales in November!
How can we most properly thank the media cesspool that spawned Bill "T-Warrior" O'Reilly? "T-Warrior" and his homeez from Da Country Club gon' be kickin' some serious "S-P" bootay up in here (that's "Secular-Progressive", ya greenhorn!), or at least that's what I hear, y'all. ("T-Warrior" stands for "Traditional Warrior", a role it is apparently possible to maintain in life even as you sexually harass your female employees by calling them on the phone and informing them you're masturbating with a dildo up your ass.)
Jesus, has that guy got some kind of closed head-wound action going on? Don't be surprised when he starts carrying around a baseball bat and spouting snatches of dialogue from The Warriors, okay? YOU foisted this upon us, Fox News. And you will pay, oh, yes. You will paaaaaaaaay.
And I know exactly how it's going to happen. In a startlingly poetic twist of fate, the Bush administration's new Prescription Drug Plan will mean that your audience is no longer too medicated to find the remote and change the channel. You will hemorrhage viewers until there's no one left watching but John Gibson's hairdresser and whatever unfortunate camera operator is on duty. And that will make me so sad that I'll laugh and laugh until I cry.

Another great post, TRex. But, I ask your indulgence in asking- how many comments until I can ask a totally totally OT question?
Nate @ 4
We have darkblack to thank for that. I emailed him this afternoon and asked, “Do you think you could turn Chris Wallace into an organ-grinder’s monkey? I think he’d be just PRECIOUS in a little bell-hop’s hat.”
Et, voila!!
great post T- i hadnt heard that about Boxer today…as i could never bring myself to turn on that odious network. we just cant say it enough- ATTACK!!!!!
Good for Boxer. I think Macy’s window is getting just a wee bit crowded these days.
I wonder when the family who owned the mailbox will step forward? They couldn’t have forgotten about it…
ah darkblack and TRex - the dynamic late nite duo - life is good!

Go for it, VG. Anything for you.
OT Jane- turns out that *ilson is doing good work in Indy exposing a wife-batterer and child-beater opponent (R)- and that’s why he’s not been around. Hoping, however, that you got my email, because *ilson has done stalwart work, and I am giving him some FDL love.

They printed some Fox dork in my local paper who claimed Clinton ambushed Fox.
I doubt they will print my letter, but if they do, the message will get out just a bit more.
all they need to do now is to start wearimg those spiffy red arm bands.
well done, o great one……
good poetry today, T Bird
afterthought @ 18
singlehandedly. not easily done, that. a whole “network”. my stars and garters!
I suppose it isn’t really OT to note here that I was subjected to about an hour of Faux’s coverage of the Bailey hostage situation this afternoon. It was abominable. Faux’s people persistently reported unconfirmed information (you know, rumors) in parallel with the few established facts, asserted that the hostage taker did have a bomb rather than that he claimed to have a bomb (still unconfirmed), that he initially fired multiple shots (not corroborated)…it was a parody of journalism. If I’d heard one more sentence on the order of “I know that this isn’t another Columbine, but…,” I think I might have tossed my last three days’ breakfasts. It was no better than tabloid reporting. Contemptible.
Some people you can win over and some people you can’t, this would be an example of when you can’t…I was walking into target this afternoon noticed that the suv (of course) I parked next to was running and a woman was sitting in the driver’s seat talking on the phone. There was also a bumper sticker on the back bumper that said “I would rather hunt with Dick Cheney than ride in a car with Ted Kennedy.” I was a little irked by this but it is the south and you can’t avoid it. When I came out of the store ONE HOUR later, the suv was still there and still running. At this point I was highly irritated and paid a little more attention to the suv…there was also another sticker that said “Imagine a world with no liberals” and the license plate said GOP 06.
#21 fahrender,
I kid you not. Here is the online clip:
Clinton ambushes Fox News
Who’s winning the domestic political war over the international war on terror — Bill Clinton, President Bush or Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton? Bill Clinton is fighting hard, for himself and his legacy, for his wife and her possible presidency. Updated: Sep. 27, 2006 2:50 AM | Full story
ecb @ 22
I can’t tell you how many times I have watched huge SUV’s pull completely pig-headed manuevers in traffic and they almost ALWAYS have a ‘W’ sticker or the equivalent on the back. Well, it’s not like we have any illusions about the personality types who still support Preznint Clusterfuck.
ecb @ 23
I’m not so sure there would be a world with no liberals. When all is said and done, the farther to the right you are, the more likely it seems to be that your only talent is for blowing shit up.
TRex @ 25
Correction: for personality “types,” substitute “disorders.”
TRex @ 25
I did see an suv one day that said “If you love America get rid of your SUV.” Could never figure out if that was a joke or not.
“Imagine No Liberals”, gawd.
That’s, like, soooooooo 2002.
ecb @ 23
I think that it was very nice and restrained of you not to have keyed her paintjob.
TRex- that is so kind of you. And this really, really totally off topic. And, a very bizarre problem. Today, I got DSL connected from BellSouth. I was so excited. And then? I can’t get FDL on DSL- says not found. So I go back to dail-up, have FDL up, read a while, and then change cables so that I am connected to DSL. I can surf FDL for a while, and then I can’t find it again. Message says, can’t find FDL. I go back and connect to dail-up. Fine. I can find FDL, and read more. And then, I can’t. Same error message. Go back to dial-up. Fine. I am now on dial-up. This is so bizarre. Already spent 2 1/2 hours on the phone with a BellSouth tech person (who turned out to be in the Philipines) trying to figure out why I couldn’t get FDL on DSL (or DWT, or Atrios, etc.) Only discovered the latest “fix” if you can call it that, after we got off the phone. This is so totally frustrating and bizarre.
One nice thing about having the BellSouth guy come to install the DSL, however, is that I was able to access FDL while he was there. What kind of site is that, he said? It’s a political site. etc. etc.. I said, I’m one of those lefties who is trying to get rid of Bush… ah…. that resonated… he said- it’s gonna take years to undo what Bush has done… and, at the end, he said, so what is the name of that site again? fire dog lake I said. One word? he asked. Yep, I said. I think he might check it out. I always try to spread the word.
Does anyone have the link for the 911 movie? I had a yahoo link but it doesn’t work anymore and I can’t even think of the name of it? It featured the Jersey Girls. TIA
Anybody know if the Libby hearing was ever actually held? I looked for a Christy update but didn’t see one.
Link, but it is a pretty sad attempt.

oh, TRex! thank you for the organ grinder! that is probably the first time I’ve laughed today… especially since the prospect for tomorrow is to hit the phones AGAIN and spread around some more harrassement of Senators…

She was still sitting in her car or would have been much harder to show restraint. It also probably helps that I’ve been getting over a stomach bug…it did make me want to start puking all over again though.
OldCoastie @ 35
It is a great picture but which one is the monkey?
Oh, yeah, p.s. what I meant to ask is does anyone out there have some solution to my bizarre and head-banging DSL problem? I was so excited finally to have DSL, but it is turning into total frustration!!!!!
I was on the phone with a family friend yesterday (Republican) and she was asking me about the Big Dog on Fox. She’d heard about it, wanted details.
She was surprised and not negative at all - she said it was refreshing to see the Democrats start to push back.
I felt good all day afterwards.
Today, I feel tender and sad. :( I was giving hugs out all afternoon. Not for them, more for me.
ecb @ 36
Maybe you need to move to a blue state. It would be better for both your stomach and mind.

I’m no big expert, but it sounds like you are dropping your connection… you on a Mac?
Never had a with BellSouth DSL and FDL, but I have moved to TWC some time back, so it may be a new problem.

OldCoastie @

Okay, were you able to access any other web sites or just not FDL?
What kind of computer are you using?
What OS?
There was a short article in my paper today discussing current negative campaign ads.
The part that popped my dorsal fin up was the part saying Democrats were surprised by how far back and how obscure some of the facts in the ads against them were. Editorials written for campus newspapers (If we’re going to hold the past against politicians, let us start with the Codpiece in Chief), defaulting on student loans, personal bankruptcies - just some of the mud being flung.
Guess having Choicepoint as part of the GWOT and having No Such Agency doing yer domestic spying is paying off.
VG, do you think that it is like the problem when FDL switched over to its own dot com site? I think I remember the solution was to flush your cache or something… I’m no techie but I think it had something to do with the way your ISP goes to the site and your computer’s cache is still set to the “old way” instead of the new DSL way.
Of course, I could be totally wrong here, and I am no techie.
Oops, meant:
Never had a problem with Bellsouth DSL and FDL.
As for dropping modem connection, I think you would know as you would get nothing from anywhere.
Are you using a single computer USB type modem or a ethernet type network modem?
Either way sometimes you DO have to set for “keep alive” on a DSL line.
Valley Girl @ 31
I wouldn’t put it past Bellsouth to some creative editing on thier DNS servers. Afterall they do have a prospective merger coming up. Got to keep the GOP happy if they want it to go smoothly. Speaking of which, one or maybe two more mergers and we’ll have Ma Bell back.
TRex @ 25
SUV? I thought that was the name for the folks who drove ‘em.

Nah, I use Bellsouth DSL at home and it has never attempted to block my access to any content.
AZ Matt @ 40
As much as I would like to this is home and I love it. Also, I still haven’t quite given up yet. Some days are pretty depressing, but others I help yet another MS “Republican” realize that they are actually a Dem. I pick and choose my battles. Most people actually are better aligned with the Dem point of view and just vote Republican because they don’t know any better…some people tell you, “Well I may not agree with all of Bush’s policies, but I still think he is the sexiest man alive.” And yes this is an actual quote from a girl I work with. I wasn’t sick at the time, but I almost got that way. However, I have seen some of the guys she dates and Bush actually is more attractive (scary I know).
ecb @ 8:30 pm (#23)
With those risk assessment skills, it’s no wonder those folks are so freaked out by terrorism.
OT, but I’ve got to ask. Is there technically any way that a senator or group thereof filibuster or in any other way still derail this goddamn torture bill?
Some folks insist that because of the “unanimous consent …”, it is all over. Is that true?
Thanks

Do the right thing and tell her that Bush is gay and only has sex with paid man-whores like Jeff Gannon. It’s for her own good.

OldCoastie @

OldCoastie- no, I am on a PC. However, I was wondering about the connection problem. There are four levels of access speed available via BellSouth, and chose “level 2″ which is 10x faster than DSL “lite”. The installer today said that probably all I could get in my area was level 2 (of 4 speeds) because I am in an “historic area” where it has not been possible to build a high-power substation, and connections have to come from another place, somewhat distant- and thus higher speed connections aren’t possible in my area. What you say about the connection being dropped does make sense. ( Or, maybe the DSL modem is faulty?) So, I am wondering if I have to go to DSL “lite”- less stress on the tubz, so to speak. Hope this makes sense.
ecb @ 51,
If memory serves me right, you got Trent Lott as a Senator. Has he rebuilt his house on the Gulf yet for Bush to come and sit on his porch?
I’ve relatives in LA & AL. Hard nuts to crack.

TRex- I could access google, CNN, and other big sites, but could not access FDL, DownWithTyranny, Eschaton… and some other faves. Using a fairly old PC, Windows XP. Tried both Firefox (usual) and IE while online with the customer helper and both browers had the same problem. Have cleared all chaches, etc. etc.
(Flame retardant suit on)
I saw a LOT of pearl-clutching, Verklemmt, fainting-couch victims as live-blogging occured today on the Torture Bill. On our blog. From newbies -and- regulars.
My concern is that we are not doing a good job promoting the fact that we are in a lifetime war. This is not a battle against the horror-de-jeur. The f’ing Republican Party is the MAJORITY, people. They are going to, and should be expected to, pass a bill here and there.
That doesn’t mean we have to like it. It doesn’t mean we shouldn’t protest it loudly after the fact. It does NOT mean that all Democrat congresspeople are traitors because a majority passed a bill based on majority rules.
We all (me too) think we are smarter than 100 Senators and however many House members there are. But they are there for a reason and we are not for another reason.
Breaking News! If you are not part of the solution, etc.
If something bad happens, figure out why and fight to prevent it in the future. If something good happens, commend the people that made it so and go back to the fight.
Maybe we need a list of the victories we’ve had over the last 2 years. I can’t put it together; any volunteers?
Please people, think long term. I don’t know how many taunting posts we got from Rethugs today delighting in our PANIC. But they were moderated, which is normally a good thing. In this case however, I almost think that being forced to read them would have been a good thing.
Lakers? Lakers? The right was laughing at us today because we were freaking out. Mods, can you confirm?
Let’s Roll.
Even if you don’t laud everything Boxer does, taking the fight to any opponent deserves praise. I don’t think any amount hard pedaling and harsh words will be taken negatively by the public in these times.
Republicans aren’t fighting, they’re hoping no one calls them out too loudly for doing nothing! They have Rumsfeld who won’t be questioned by anyone about his failures or accountability while Democrats have highly decorated officers from various branches of the military willing to pour out their insight in a Democratic oversight meeting on policy. The lines of communication and leadership offering to promote a meaningful change in Iraq are talking to the Democrats.
When you are right and have the brass to back it up, punch them in the mouth, repeatedly !

I’m trying to imagine the monkey-house shrieking and feces-throwing that there would have been on Fox, had there been a revelation that a man-whore–gay man-whore!–had been prowling around the Clinton White House. Man, they would have had to add more hours to the day just to cover it all. We’d be using 27 hour days now because of that.
That same girl goes to “YUPs” (Young Upcoming Professionals) meetings. My response, “Is that like Yuppies in training?” I have to admit I already knew that it was, but it was fun to see her reaction.
I don’t know if this has come up here, but another diamond has surfaced in Bush’s turd of detainee bell.

Folks - don’t miss Arianna’s post on torture and the Dems and Repugs… it is brilliant! and precisely what should be said today:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/.....30399.html
And, I just want to highlight, that amidst the DSL mess, it was really really encouraging that the guy who came to install (and the problems I discovered later were probably not his fault) was totally on board with the “Bush has done damage” meme. And, that I pointed him to FDL. Word’s out, in this very Red State!
afterthought @
24
yes, i understand. I didn’t think you were kidding……..
VG at 56:
A “connection lost” problem is usually bad wiring, and I don’t think that is what your symptoms are indicating.
If you want to try a couple things when you have the problem with getting to FDL, do this:
1. Click on the Start button of Windows.
2. Click on Run.
3. When the Run dialog box comes up, enter CMD and press the enter key.
4. This will open a DOS Command prompt window.
5. At the prompt in the DOS window, type in “ping www.firedoglake.com” (without the quotes) and press the enter key.
If you do this when you are having problems accessing FDL, the resultant output will show us a couple of things:
A. Whether you can ping the FDL website across the Internet (i.e. find it and contact it)
B. What kind of response time it takes to travel across the Internet to the FDL site and back to your PC.
You can even do this right now without waiting for that FDL problem to occur.

VG - I don’t know… I do a lot more Mac and haven’t worked on PC’s for a couple years… I almost wonder if you are timing out on the smaller sites… you know what I’d try? sometimes dsl can get a little flakey when there are lots of users on the same “circuit”… I’d try at some odd hour - very early a.m. maybe
other than that, I don’t know what to tell you - keep fussing at your provider - they may need to figure out how to get your more bandwidth or something (don’t offer to pay for it - see if they will pony it up)
Valley Girl @

Hi Valley Girl -
This fault sure sounds like a problem with the DNS (domain name servers). The DNS translates our word-based url’s (like “firedoglake [dot] com”) into numerical unique internet addresses.
When changing net feeds (or even switching among them) the DNS info and/or settings may be a problem.
The most common problem I’ve seen when changing net feeds (epecially if changing net providers) is an error in the specific DNS location. Different net providers have different numerical addresses for their DNS servers. [example: My long-time net provider was UCLA. When I traveled out of the LA area and used other net providers, I got DNS errors unil I updated my settings for the specific DNS servers used by the non-UCLA providers.
I’m an apple head, but came from the dark side, so I may remember the DNS settings on windows: I think the TCP/IP settings (a subset of internet settigs) contain the DNS setting box.
Your DSL provider will (or should) have a specific numerical address for their own DNS server(s). It will take the form of a string of numerals with interspersed periods - about four groups of numerals if I recall correctly..)
You can enter the DNS server address (or addresses) in the box labelled (I think) with the creative tag “DNS servers” on the TCP/IP setings page.
If the settings page eludes you, putting “TCP/IP” in the help text box may lead to the right place. On the other hand, this is Microsoft, so it may not.
Good luck - hope this helps - srry for typos!
VG- it sounds like you are having domain name server issues (they resolve the name of the site to the number of the server it’s on)
try this:
start- settings - network connections
click on the local area connection
click properties
highlight Internet Protocol (tcp/ip) and click the properties button
at the bottom, check “use the following DNS server address”
put this number in the box: 192.168.0.1
then click okay all the way out….
that server works for me!
hat tip to mr.JB for walking me thru this.
Valley Girl @ 8:37 pm (#31)
The only thing more difficult to do than diagnose a problem that you know a little bit about by phone from the Phillipines is to try to diagnose a problem you know nothing about from the Internet, but here goes …
It’s possible you need to use different DNS servers from the DSL than you use from the modem. Do you have DNS servers predefined on your system (IOW, you’re not letting DHCP provide them)? If so, you might want to try removing those DNS servers from your configuration, and then restart the interface. If you’re using Windows it’s quite possible that Bell South has a help page that explains what to do.
UPDATE: Check kirk murphy’s comment above for a more thorough explanation of all this.
JackieBlue @ 85
Uh, no.
192.168.0.1 is a reserved IP address which is not routable over the Internet, therefore you will not be able to resolve your domain names to IP addresses, hence not…
Oh, never mind. Free tech support if you email judd.brown at comcast dot net.

Maybe a HOSTS file with outdated information?
VG- even better:

they suggest using “obtain dns server automatically” but have a list of specific IP addresses too…
Good Luck!
Balrog @ 87
Valley Girl: Actually, if that’s what was working before, you are probably using some sort of firewall. It is acting as a local DNS server. What you need to do, if that’s the case, may be to reprogram your firewall.
It sounds, though, as if you are connecting directly to the Internet with your PC. In that case, Balrog is correct, that’s not going to help.
at least until they start getting the $4 generics from MallWart (convenient timing that, just before the election and when the donut hole of Medicare D kicks in)
